How many million gallons per day does 4400 gpm convert to?

To determine how many million gallons per day (MGD) 4400 gallons per minute (gpm) converts to, it's essential to perform the calculation accurately.

First, you need to convert gallons per minute into gallons per day. There are 1440 minutes in a day (24 hours x 60 minutes). Therefore, you can calculate the total gallons per day by multiplying the flow rate in gpm by the total number of minutes in a day:

4400 gpm × 1440 minutes/day = 6,336,000 gallons/day.

Next, to convert gallons per day into million gallons per day, divide the total gallons by 1,000,000:

6,336,000 gallons/day ÷ 1,000,000 = 6.336 million gallons per day.

When rounded to one decimal place, this value is approximately 6.3 million gallons per day. This is why the correct answer is noted as 6.3, reflecting the calculated conversion from gallons per minute to million gallons per day accurately.
